Can a foreign laboratory report be used directly for the specific Chinese submission under consideration?

Whether a foreign laboratory report can be used for a particular Chinese submission is decided by the authority that receives it.

The air-filter reports the company cites include LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, a single-pass fractional efficiency test on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct, in accordance with standard LMS aerosol test procedures, and Report 6847, ASHRAE 52.2 with Appendix J; the LMS Technologies Pine-Needle Smoke Report LMS#10471 of 20 October 2025, measured as single-pass fractional efficiency in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct; and Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate No. 15.06.011, under ISO 16890. Certificate No. 15.06.011 covers a ten-pocket bag filter, not a flat panel filter, and Report 6847 is on a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter; a rating belongs to the construction that was tested. Guangdong Detection Center of Microbiology, Report 2020FM20686R01E, 13 August 2020, tested a nonwoven filter medium against influenza A virus (H3N2) under ISO 18184:2014. The published Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” General enquiries go to [email protected].

Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
